Yeah. Seems like many regulars are already here. Good stuff.

Agreed! It may not be our regular bar but all the regulars are here and it feels good. Miss the community for sure as I never got into BLF even after giving it a good shot.

I noticed you showed a comparison between the opple 3 and 4. I remember some discussion awhile back about the 4 potentialy being inaccurate and an update mentioned ging out at the end of May. Has your 4 been updated and if it has are the difference you are seeing closer to acceptable? Thanks.

Has your 4 been updated

no, they now say the update will be June 30

are the difference you are seeing closer to acceptable?

I do not recommend Opple 4 at this time.

I only use my Opple 3

Welp I ordered a 4 before I knew about the issue. I thought it would be something fun to play with. It just sits waiting. Thanks.
